What is your soul curious about experiencing right now—to remember who you are, reclaim your freedom, and return to a life rooted in joy, peace, and love?
– Jesse James Ferrell
The Story Behind the Jesse James Method
✤ My work did not begin with a technique. It began with curiosity.
✤ What started in healing touch has grown into speaking, media, music, education, and a line of pain relief sprays.
✤ It has evolved into UNTAMED TODAY, a place where that curiosity now interviews other people's lives.
✤ The hours and the history are below. The question that carries all of it is at the end.
A Life Guided by Curiosity
Since 2001, Jesse has run one of the longest-standing independent bodywork practices in his field. More than 30,000 hours of one-on-one work with corporate executives, professional athletes, and clients navigating chronic pain. Behind those hours sit 3,500 hours of advanced training in medical massage, structural bodywork, reflexology, meridian-informed therapies, trauma-informed touch, somatic awareness, and emotional release.
The practice has exceeded seven figures in revenue, built without venture capital, franchise structure, or paid acquisition.
It is also where UNTAMED TODAY began. Twenty-five years of listening to bodies taught Jesse how to listen to lives. Every interview the brand publishes is built on that listening.
From that foundation, refined through the AAAME master-level entrepreneur program in Phoenix, a cohort of 12 founders selected from roughly 125 applicants, Jesse developed the Jesse James Method. The Method is a four-pillar framework teaching alternative healers and wellness practitioners how to build sustainable, seven-figure careers without burning out their bodies, their nervous systems, or the lives they want to live.
The Method anchors Jesse James Academy, the educational arm of his work, and his forthcoming book, Pivot to Profit.
Jesse is the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of UNTAMED TODAY, the premium media brand for people who refuse to live edited-down lives. The brand is built on a proprietary framework of twenty-seven principles for depth-oriented adult life. Jesse conducts every interview and governs its editorial voice.
He co-founded Soul Blends in 2023, a natural pain-spray line built from a heritage Mayan family recipe passed down through generations of grandmothers in Mexico. The line bridges traditional plant medicine with the bodywork practice that has anchored his career.
He hosted the Focus Four Me podcast and co-hosted Turning Stones, the YouTube series on spiritual consciousness and human evolution. He is the creator of The Emotional Man: Listening to Suicide, a storytelling project advancing emotional resilience and suicide awareness. He is a former tenor with the Phoenix Metropolitan Gay Men's Chorus.
Jesse lives between Phoenix, Mexico City, and Mérida with his husband, Miguel Pavón Calva, co-founder and Art Director of UNTAMED TODAY. He is a father and a grandfather.
The work travels across stage, recording, page, treatment room, and classroom. The people it serves are healers, leaders, athletes, and seekers asking the same question Jesse has been asking since 2001: what becomes possible when we listen deeply enough to remember who we are?
Competitive advantage. Earned, not borrowed.
